Hello all,
I've got a boat that will weigh aprox. 7,500-8,000 w/trailer and fuel after I finish the Diesel engine conversion. I am a little concerned that the ED might struggle, especially after I ad a couple of my fat friends :)
I've driven the truck and love it! my trip to the marina is about 40 miles fairly flat.

Welcome.

You asked if the engine would struggle. The answer, based on my towing experience, is ... NO!

Hope those fat friends pay for marine fuel. In a boat, fat is not where it's at.
